The essentials
Everything you need to seed, grow and plant your first chains.
Chains open and grow out in these. Most farms run at least 40 trays. Made in Pennsylvania.
Paper chain pots
Each chain has 264 cells. The spacing sets the length: about 49.5 ft at 2 in, 93 ft at 4 in and 139 ft at 6 in.
Salad turnips, and head lettuce at 8 in when you seed every other cell.
Twice as tall (50 mm) for a bigger root ball. Same footprint, same trays and tools.
Seed faster
Optional, but they turn a slow job into a quick one.
Grow-out and spares
Questions about the kit
How does kit pricing work?
Add at least 3 items from this page, with at least 2 different parts, and add them to your cart together. The savings are applied to everything in the kit, chain pots included, and show in your cart and at checkout. Parts bought one at a time from their own pages are regular price.
What do I need to get started?
The transplanter, paper chain pots, germination trays and the Opening Kit. The drop seeder, dibble board and solid bottom trays are optional and speed up seeding and watering.
Which chain spacing should I pick?
Pick by crop. 2 in suits spinach, peas, cilantro and dill. 4 in suits salad turnips, and head lettuce at 8 in with skip seeding. 6 in covers beets, onions, garlic, leeks, kohlrabi and most lettuce. Many growers start with two spacings.
How many germination trays do I need?
One tray holds one chain while it grows. Most farms run at least 40.
Is this cheaper than the Pro-Series Starter Kit?
No. If you want the transplanter, a case of chains, 20 germination trays, 20 solid bottom trays, the Opening Kit, Dibble Board and Kwik Klik together, the Pro-Series Starter Kit is the better price. Build your own when you already own some parts or want a different mix.
Can I add more parts later?
Yes. Come back and build another kit of 3 or more items with at least 2 different parts. Already own a transplanter? Restock chains, trays and tools the same way.
